Address the crack in the windshield before it grows

It could have been from a piece of asphalt kicked up by the car in front of you or a rock when you were driving behind that dump truck last week, but the bottom line is the same – you have a small crack in your windshield. While it may not seem like a problem now, a small crack can quickly grow into a larger one that could obscure your vision, but there are ways to make sure that doesn't happen.

If you wait too long, you may have to end up replacing the entire windshield rather than just fixing the crack itself. Experts say that if it is more than 30 days old, wider than one-eighth of an inch thick or longer than 12-inches, you've missed your opportunity. So you'll want to act quickly if you want to minimize the damage to both your car and your wallet.

Though some drivers might take matters into their own hands by way of some home remedies, they might not always do the trick and could make matters worse. Some of the most popular fixes are using super glue and clear nail polish to fill the crack, but this doesn't always work and may make what was once a manageable repair much worse. Instead, most experts suggest taking your car to professionals to take care of the damage.
